Review

 

Are you watching closely?

From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins), comes a mysterious story of two magicians whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy with dangerous and deadly consequences.

From the time that they first met as young magicians on the rise, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) were competitors. However, their friendly competition evolves into a bitter rivalry making them fierce enemies-for-life and consequently jeopardizing the lives of everyone around them.

Full of twists and turns, The Prestige is set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century London, with an exceptional cast that includes two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie.

Based on the novel by Christopher Priest.

I thought this film was great, the story was excellent and the way in which it was told was deeply satisfying. Full of twists and turns throughout, this film will constantly keep you guessing until the end when all is revealed, I would highly recommend watching this film.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Five stars is severely underated!

Are You Reading Closely?
Couldn't resist! This one line will stay with you long after the film has ended, it is, to put it lightly, pure genius. Rival magicians, who would have thought such a plot line would deliver such a punch? Hugh Jackman delivers the best performance in my opinion although I may be slightly biased. With twists and turns around every corner this film is sure to have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, and toppling off of it in the last second of film. A real treat for audiences alike, this film will blow you away.
The Pledge, The Turn, The Prestige. Chilling.
